Was a prominent New York attorney before his death in 1995. Was
appointed with attorney Ron Kuby to defend Colin Ferguson, the Long
Island Railroad gunman. In December 1993, Ferguson rode an LIRR
commuter train packed with passengers at rush hour. When the train
stopped at its Merillon Avenue destination in Garden City, New York,
Ferguson opened fire in the third car, killing six people and wounding
nineteen others. Ferguson refused to be defended by Kunstler and all
other attorneys appointed and defended himself in court. Ferguson is
currently serving a life sentence in prison without parole.
